Tax

Taxes are types of taxes used at any time in the system, such as state and local sales taxes, entertainment taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), or general and provincial sales taxes (GST and PST). Application of different taxes to items is controlled through tax groups and check types.

Use the Tax menu to define taxes, such as state and city sales taxes, entertainment taxes, and value-added taxes (VAT). Items are priced with or without tax included.

The taxes applied to an item are based on:

• The tax group assigned to the item.

• The check type (regular, comp, room service) for the transaction. For every check type, define which taxes are applied to each tax group. Taxes are added or deleted from each tax group to reflect the correct tax rate for the check type.

A tax cannot be deleted if it is assigned to a tax group.

Perform the following steps to configure Tax:

Navigate to POS Configuration ➜ Financials ➜ Tax.

Select Add.
